Most Iraqis want US troops out now

[BurnumBurnum123]

yeah i agree, the money spent on war could be used for so many good causes.

But, war makes rich people richer

[TheLostRepublic]

who could imagine that the citizens of a country wouldn't want to have their country be occupied by the US?

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

zionist who are still shitting in their pants from when saddam bomb them and made them sleep in sealed rooms.They want every arabian country torn up and occupied. they want to see the totally demise of the Arabian nationality . unfortunitly for zionism no outsiders can ever totally controll the mideast. It is thy classic gravyard of empires and outside occupiers. But the zionist have recently warm welcomed a new U.S.A base in the occupied najev . It will be there til the welfare state falls.

[zolgharn]

Begone your bastards Zionist-Yankees  !

[sheepblitzer]

Why is no one asking the real questions about the Iraq's sovereignty? Who controls these "security forces?" What sort of debt has the Iraqi "government" acquired and who are they subservient to?

talking about "Iraqi Sovereignty" while they are becoming just another puppet state controlled by the international elite is sort of....well, a cocksuck isnt it? there's more important issues here than just the status of US troops, to be honest.

4:31 is that a 'don't ask don't tell' type guy? he sure looks like one.

Question / Definitive Answer

Q. Does all troops leaving Iraq mean leaving 50,000 support troops after 2011?

A.?

[manolis1080]

the Kurds of Iraq want the Americans to stay as long as they can in order to continue to be protected from Arab and Turkish attack ... i support that ,it is also in the intrest of the Americans to further decreese the power of the Sunny Arab militias who also attack the Kurds in Mosul

[luckyvet]

They leave Iraq & head over to Afganistan. War is very profitable.

[ejbh3160]

The Troops know there's no jobs back home!

[ApocalypticFervor]

You got that right, and most of the good paying jobs are in the military and weapons industry. Without wars, a good percentage of good paying jobs would be scaled down drastically, Our economy depends on it. It is a sad state of affairs that we allowed these corporations so much power.

[ejbh3160]

What's really sad is that we COULD use all that energy (& resources) for cleaning up the mess we've made in the past 300 years of 'Industrialisation'... a global clean up will take ALL our energy.

(Assuming the human race want to survive at all that is)

[RenadTreeInElgana]

Iraq the biggest country in the mideast the most devoloped country in all arab countries

Iraq= oil +money in the past , look now after the invasion of U.S , Iraqi people suffer and starve , Wow Americans killed Saddam but they created thousands of him in 6 years thanx U.S thanx Iran , more than 2 millions iraqi killed for Israel

[7jerryv7]

Nobody but the Bush Administration wanted the US in Iraq. The last six years were a total fiasco.

[jperryam]

Why does Tharp contradict himself? First he recognizes that the vast majority of Iraqis want us completely out ASAP, but then at the end of the vid says the referendum isn't necessary because regular citizens are satisfied with a SOFA (about which, as Paul notes, there is talk of renegotiation) that doesn't even pretend to have us completely out for another two and a half years. And why is the idea of allowing the Iraqi people to exercise the democracy we claim to be spreading a "pipe dream"?

[snappa52]

most troops want out of Iraq now

[7jerryv7]

Good point. Who wanted the US in Iraq? I forget...let me think. Prior to the Obama Administration the only people that wanted the US in Iraq was the Bush Administration.

[FaaarLeft]

How can we expect to force democracy on the Iraqis when the United States isn't even a democracy!

[FREEW0RLD2012]

Nearly 2 MILLION Iraqi dead....yeah,uh huh,they've been "handling it" real fine.Crimes against humanity,young Iraqi girls with US troop/Merc babies they don't know who the father is because they were gang raped....yeah,they've been "handling" it Super(NOT). Suicides by rape victims,BOTH men,women,boys and girls by occupation forces.Men raped with foreign objects....

[MichaelPaoli]

NO EXCUSES! WE'VE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME THEY WANT US OUT!

E.g. some of us well remember the results of Gallup polls done in Iraq in 2003 and 2004. Don't remember? Look 'em up.

The short version? From at least as early as 2003-09, the Iraqis wanted foreign troops to leave in short order. As troops stayed on and on, the levels of resentment towards their remaining climbed very high.

[FREEW0RLD2012]

ALL Iraqi's never wanted the US to come into they're country in the FIRST place.They knew even then that it would be war for oil. Check out video's showing Iraq BEFORE the invasion and occupation(I happen to have both in a play list on my channel).They knew it wasn't about "Democracy".

[jacksoncarreras]

yeah, just keep the troops there long enough... until the next fake war starts, then all that withdrawal stuff will be yesterday's news.

[thermalfreek]

Was their any shoe throwing?

[oliversinhell]

what about the 150.000 mercenaries working ( killing ) in Iraq . will they be leaving ? last week most of the oil companies rejected the deals they were offered by the Iraqi government , they wanted to charge the oil companies 2 dollars for a barrel of oil !! the cheek of them ! pay 2 dollars for a barrel of our own oil ?

Iraqis have a choice ,unification or annihilation !

[peymaania]

Oh come on now, most of those guys are truck drivers, cooks, cleaners, and support staff. Most of them are probably not armed. Black water probably has no motr than few hundred ex-marines at most in Iraq. In fact I'm not sure if they are still over there or not.

[oliversinhell]

i've read reports in the media of thousands of mercenaries hired to help in counter insurgency operations ,( raids and assassinations ) these guys are ex military from all over the world , ex special forces , not cooks or truck drivers . just highly trained killers !

I don't believe for 1 minute that the US is gonna pull out of iraq !

[FREEW0RLD2012]

You wouldn't be because THEY CHANGED THEIR NAME. They are not "Blackwater" anymore.

[ikillednoe]

the new name is Xe

[cool70200]

Its because everyone knows the question, but might not admit, What the hell are we still there for?

Bush rushed us into this quagmire nonsense to get Saddam, now he's off on his ranch having bbq and we're still stuck paying for this nonsense, exactly for what?

[krusader85]

well said mate

[featherian]

the US flag is reverse on ther uniform since 2004.

its just to make us subconsciusly get use to it.

US flag is not just a piece of cloth .

in fact all other flag around the world have been design for reasons and not only RAMDOM PICTURE THEY SELECT .

i know its not a solution or even a big deal for some of you ,but for others that digs in illuminati ,and secret society do notice those change .

[bigge525]

Yeah, i'm sure we built a base nearly the size

of Atlanta to just turn around and leave.

Obama's finding out who is really in charge,

government contractors and the pentagon.

Until the people have had enough, just like

in Nam, this won't end. 21st Century

American Colonialism.

[gsuitter]

Silly Iraqis. We here in the United States have come to recognize that our government knows what's best for us.

I'm sure they know what's best for you also.

[JixMa]

"Most Iraqis want US troops out now"

Leave?! The U.S. would just pack up and leave the 51st state? I seriously doubt it. They're hanging around so that they can add Iran as the 52nd.

[TheAuspicious]

PERMANENT military bases were built in a Iraq! American occupation will perhaps stop but their presence will never stop! Talking about the Date that they are gonna pull out is a waste of time! No matter what the president says!

When Obama talks about new energy at home, I give him the benefit of doubt but I ain't holding my breath!

[CRAPCANNONS]

The Iraqis are racist against Obama because they just don't want a black president occupying their country. Janine Garafalo was right.

[colmmernagh]

ahahah

[featherian]

notice the reverse flag on the us troops?

[TimmyHaag]

It used to be you'd wear the reverse of the flag if you were in a combat zone.

It has to do with the idea of carrying the flag into battle and having it wave in reverse as you advance on the enemy.

Now all US troops wear it as a .... reminder of the guys and gals in combat zones.

I know what you are hinting at and it bothered me when I had to slap one on but in the end the flag is just a piece of cloth, reversing the Constitution (Patriot Act[s]) causes me to worry more.

[bonzaibb12]

This is not done by option of the soldiers there uniforms are now made this way.

copy and past this question and it will bring you to us flag orgs response

( Why is the Flag patch "backwards" on Military uniforms? )

[pedroquintero]

Everyone wants the troops out, but these fucking imperialists suck big fat donkey dick, fucking military industrial complex DoD pieces of shit

[CitizenCindy]

This American wants US troops out now too.
